London : Shaw and Sons, Fetter-lane. . . . The harvest in France is also said to be above an average yield. From the North of Europe accounts era not so favourable. Looking at all the premises, our conclusion,is this, that the harvest will be late and short—but, nevertheless, that brad will not reach what is somewhat vaguely called the famiue price. Provisions will be tight, but there will be a sufficiency. However, it is very probable that during the winter and spring foreign grain will continue to find its way to the British mar ket, on the payment of a nominal duty. In Four Volumes Bvo., price 2/.

Daring the last six months 1,003 voluntary agreements have been received. If the process of commutation were wholly compulsory the Commissioners would not think it prudent, or perhaps practi cable, to press it at a quicker rate than this. The appointments have hitherto been completed with more harmony, and with much less of irritation and opposition, than had been generally reckoned on, but they consume much morn time than it is desirable they should. The causes of this slowness are, the limited number of per. sons to whom the parties to the agreements are content to trust the processes either of mapping and measuring or of appor tioning, and the great accumulation of work in the hands of that limited number of persons. If the Tithe Commissioners increase the quantity of work to be done in the country, by adding a number of compulsory awards to the voluntary agreements now making, and under which the apportionments are proceeding towards completion, they must either employ the same apportioners and mappers whom the parties themselves are now employing, or they must employ a different and inferior class, and one in which the par ties show no disposition to place confidence. If the Commissioners employed the persons at present em. ployed, they could not materially accelerate the pace at which the apportionments are now completing. If they employed persons in whom the landowners had not cont deuce, discontent, appeals, and consequent on these, very heavy expenses both to the public and individuals, would fullow, which must entirely destroy the harmony and contentment which have hitherto marked the progress of commutations. This would constitute an amount of evil which, in the opinion of the Commissioners, would very much more than balance any good which their immediate compulsory interference, on a wide scale, could effect. The Tithe Commissioners, therefore, announce, that while the voluntary commutation proceeds at the pace at which it has lately proceeded, it is their intention to interfere com pulsorily oily iu a limited number of cases, which will consist,- Ist. Of those in which litigation is in progress. 12dly. Of those in which tithe has been taken in kind prier to the appearance of this circular. 3dly. Of cases in which the Commissioners are requested by both tithe-owners and land-uwners to interfere. 4thly. Of cases in which an incumbent has been recently appointed, or may be hereafter admitted to a rectory or vicarage, and becomes thereby owner of the great or small tithes. The Tithe Commissioners wish it, however, to be under stood that, if the progress of voluntary commutation slackens, they may:probably think it right to interfere more actively and widely, and that they will interfere at once in any special cases or particular districts of which the peculiar circum stances appear to them to make an early interference desirable. While making these announcements the Commissioners earnestly advise all parties to commutations to apply them selves deliberately, but resolutely, to the task of making volun tarily their own arrangements. It is true that in few cases the compulsory processes may be completed as cheaply as the voluntary, the award, perhaps, even more cheaply than an agreement ; but it is never certain that this will be the case in any one instance. It is highly improbable that it will be the case in the majority of instances. Where the parties institute no contest, and make no struggle before the Commissioners, a compulsory commutation, may be promptly and cheaply settled. Whenever, either at the commencement of a compulsory commutation, or what will oftener happen accidentally and dur ing its progress, any individual, however small his interest, grows suspicious and litigious, and denies facts as to past trans actions and averages, or disputes admeasurements and valua tions, he may force on a protracted investigation, re.admea surements, and fresh maps and re-valuations, which must lead to burdensome and indefinite expenses to be borne by the par ties, besides causing a wasteful expenditure of public money. It is indeed clear that an apportionment made by the Commis sioners must in nearly every case be more expensive than one conducted by the landowners themselves. Should these considerations have their due weight with the parties, the Commissioners see no ground for doubting that by very far the larger portion of tithe will be voluntarily and amicably commuted. As yet, out of all the voluntary appor tionments confirmed, the parties have been driven to re valua tions only in one. The Tithe Commissioners wish the persons employed to map and apportion to understand very distinctly that, although under the circumstances enumerated here much forbearance will be exercised towards them, and although the power of taking the apportionment out of their hands will be very cau tiously exercised, yet such forbearance will have its limits. Whenever it is found that: there) has been trifling or loiter ing, or a disappointment of the fair expectations of their em ployers, the Commissioners (however much they may regret the necessity for doing so) will not hesitate to take the appor tionment into their own hands. In such cases the time and cost already bestowed upon the work will be lost. The Tithe Commissioners recommend all tithe-owners to take care that the first instalment of their rent-charge is made due, and that tithe should cease to exist, on some quarter-day after the confirmation of the apportionment. This will prevent the possibility of there being an interval between the signing of the agreement and the confirmation of the apportionment, during which they may find it practically very difficult to collect either tithe or rent-charge. They also recommend to all landowners to contract for the completion of the apportionment by some given day after the confirmation of an agreement or completion of an award, and to stipulate, that if the apportionment is not then completed, nothing shall be paid for it. If they do not do this, they will run the risk of having first to pay partially an apportioner selected by themselves, and secondly the expenses elan appor- Lonment made by the Commissioners. W. BLANIIRE, T. W. BULLER, R. JONES. August 27, 1838. THE HOUSE OF LORDS.--We understand that the deputation from the Town Council who went to London about the Gaol Assessment Bill, were greatly astonished, as well as pleased, at the pains taken by the Peers to ascertain all the bearing of the case, and give effect to the reasonable views of the parties. Those who suppose that the Members of the Upper House make their duties a sinecure will learn from the following anecdote that they have been mistaken, at least in regard to some. The deputation had occasion one forenoon to call upon a Noble Duke connected with Scotland, and found him busily engaged with the Gaol Bill, which they ob served lying in shreds on his table, with numerous notes and a lterations in his Grace's own handwriting; and he told them he had been so engaged since seven o'clock in the morning, without having tasted breakfast. —D undee Courier. A number of the inhabitants of Matlock were on Tuesday last thrown into a huge fit of perplexity, not to say terror, by the appearance of an apparently formidable looking, although nondescript, sort of animal progressing down the river. It appeared, as it rolled, and heaved, and plunged about in the shallows, to possess _horns and legs, but owing to its peculiar motion no one could clearly distinguish whether it had head, feas„ or tails. A couple of daring spirits at length put off in an Oxford wherry, resolved to attack the creature, and various were the conjectures on shore as to whether it would turn out to be a horned porpoise, a misshapen alligator, or a disguised grampus, who had missed his way in returning from a marine masquerade. After a severe chase the gallant crew of the wherry cautiously approached the monster, and the very first harpoon (or hay-fork, we are not clear which) that took effect, proved the enemy to be neither more or less than—a wheelbarrow. —Derbyshire Courier. On Saturday last an inquest was held before John Wood, Esq., at the house of Mr. Birkbeck, the sign of the Bee Hive, York, on view of the body of Caroline Ann Mar - Mar shall, 81 years of age, who resided with her son and daughter in-law, in Hope-street. From the evidence adduced there was strong suspicion of the mother h avin g been p oisoned lay the daughter. Indeed, the Coroner said that the evidence was so strong, and the public feeling so excited in the neighbourhood, that he called upon the jury to have a post mortem exarninatiohn.. The inquest might be adjourned. Mrs. Ma rshall, the daug ter-in-law, was called in, and the Coroner informed her there was a case of strong suspicion against her on which s he became in a violent passion, and was very abusive in her language . The Coroner, however, intimated that as it was probable sne she would be charged with the crime of poisoning, it was de sirable the body should be opened, and adjourned the inquest. A singular circumstance occurred on Monday morning on the Canterbury-road ;as the Dover mail was on its way up to town near Ingress Park, the seat of Mr. Alder man Harmer, at Greenhithe, a hare jumped suddenly in the road in front of the horses, then going at full speed ; the frightened animal started off along the road, and kept at he e r utmost speed in front o f th e h o t se s fur at least half a mil' There were only two outside passengers besides the coach man and guard; and they had the pleasure of enjoying achyse of a description rarely seen.

Whilst giving the subjoined intelligence gleaned from the country papers received to-day, it may not be altogether unnecessary to premise that a pat egreph giving the result of a careful perusal of the provincial papers received on Tues. day and destined for publication on that day, accidentally found its way into The Sun of yesterday. We regret to state that the weather, though presenting a more favourable r.ppoarance for two or three days past, conti nues precarious and unpromising; and the important question over a considerable portion of the north of England and Ire land, with perhaps nearly the whole of Scotland, continues to he, not so much whether there shall be suitable weather for fathering in the harvest, as whether the crops shall be suffi ciently matured to be worth the gathering. During the last three days, indeed, we have had a more genial temperature than before and no doubt the corn has made some progress towards maturity ; but the fine weather on this, as on several former occasions, has proved only the precursor of a violent thunder storm, which visited Manchester and neighbourhood last night ; and, if we mistake not, wilrbe found to have been very extensive in its range. The flashes of lightning were extremely numerous and vivid, and two or three must have fallen within the limits of town, but we have not had an op portunity of learning whether any damage has been done. We fear, however, that the storm is indicative of a return of the boisterous and ungenial weather which has lately prevailed. Manchester Guardian. In the south and west of England considerable progress has been made with the wheat harvest, and there seems likely to bextbout an average crop in those districts ; but we fear it will net be the case in the north of England, owing to the incessant rains, and the want of genial warmth. The oat crops will he fair ; but the wheat, barley, potato, and turnip crops will be very indifferent. Recent letters from Poland, speaking of the harvest in that country, state, that as respects wheat it will be a perfect failure, but that the crops of barley, rye, oats, and potatoes, will be excellent and abundant. Since our last, a great deal of corn has been stacked and housed in excellent order; indeed, we should say that all that has been carted since Sunday, has been done better than at any previous time during the present harvest,; and though we had a good deal of rain on Saturday, we are glad to hear that the wheat was certainly not at all injured by it, nor was anything, except the peas that were still lying out. Most of the farmers in this neighbourhood, except those in high cold situations, have finished their wheat; and we feel confident the crop has exceeded the expectations of most people. The oats and barley are certainly particularly good ; and another week's fine weather will nearly finish every thing in this neighbourhood.—Brighton Gazette. The wet and inclement weather which prevailed during the grsater part of last week, filled the agriculturists and indeed all classes, rich and poor, with the gloomiest apprehensions. A delightful change, for which we cannot be too grateful to Hint at whose bidding " the earthbringeth forth her increase," has taken place in the weather, and every homestead resounds with the busy note of preparation for garnering, as Spencer expresses it, " the spoyle of harvest riches." The change, as we are informed by many intelligent farmers, occurred at a most critical period, for had there been only another day's wet, the crops would have been considerably damaged. Since Monday, and during the two days preceding, we have been favoured with beautiful corn weather. In some spots in this neighbourhood the sickle was put into operation during the fine days of last week, though the yellow leaf of Autumn will be seen before the corn is " saved." Yesterday reaping com menced in the neighbourhood of Tavistock, and it will, we ex pect, be general by the end of the week. The crops of all de scriptions in this neighbourhood arc very heavy and fine ; but we are sorry to hear that in the neighbourhood of Calington, and along the Cornish bank of the Tamer, the fields of good wheat and rich yield are few and far between, owing to rust and blight; barley and oats, however, are plentiful. Taking the country throughout, we are happy to say the harvest is most bountiful.—Devonport Advertiser. The accounts from Liverpool respecting the crops in that part of the country state that the weather has been broken and stormy, 'with the exception of Sunday and yesterday, both of which were fine days, well suited for ripening the grain. No progress has been made with the wheat harvest in that part of the country. A few fields of oats have been cut, ' and many more will be cut this week if the present fine wea- 1 ther should continue. . 1 SCOTLAND. —We regret to say that the weather still conti nues broken over the whole of this northerly section of the kingdom, and that the reports from Ireland as to the state of the weather and the crops, correspond very much with those which we have from places nearer home.—Greenock Adv. Painful allusion was made in our last to the rain which fell on the 18th and 20th current; but the Tuesday following was in many respects the most disastrous day the farmer has encoun tered during the whole season. Saturated as they previously were with moisture the grain crops had little power of resis tance; during the whole day, and, we may safely add, the entire night, the weather was truly awful. There will be considerable loss. In Annandale the meadows are reported light, and rye-grass nearly a half deficient. One extensive grazier, who cured last ye ar 14,000 stones of hay, does not believe he will have the half this season, careful as we was to make the most of the weather.

I ttELAND. —Looking through the accounts which have reached this office (the Dublin Evening Post of Tuesday) as well as regarding those which appear in the columns of our Pro sincial Contemporaries, we may arrive, we think, reasonably at the conclusion, that they are more favourable than we should have anticipated a week since—much wet and consider able storm —some injury done, but, comparatively, unimisor tent. All admit however, that the harvest will be late. It has already, fur some weeks, been commenced in England, and partially in some of the southern counties at home. In the meantime, the price of pain, at the Corn Exchange, has rsther advanced than otherwise. The reaction has been more decisive in England. The , avers;ee pr i ce o f w h ea t for the wee August was declared by the Comptroller on Thursday to be 753 • 7(1 - ; the average for the last six weeks, which governs ;he duty, is 70s. 5d -, and the duty is 103.

The 4 : -nount. , how- INSANITY. (From the Dumfries and Galloway Courier.) Whether insanity was a disease of frequent occurrence among our warlike ancestors in this portion of the empire, has never yet, we believe been made a subject of serious inquiry. But even if it had, we are not aware of any records from which authentic information could possibly be obtained. We are inclined to think that it was an infirmity seldom met with. It is one of those drawbacks that most assuredly follow in the train of civilization and mental improvement, and considering that the Scottish people, for many centuriac, possessed little of either, we may readily suppose they were not very grievously afflicted with any of those " ills" that only polished life "is heir to." In all mountainous countries we find that congenital de formity of the cranium, and consequently an imperfect de velopment of the faculties of the mind, are, and ever have been, of more frequent occurrence than they are in our cities and plains ; hence the great number of idiots in all alpine districts. This is a fact that has long been established, and, however variously accounted for, admits of no dispute. We find in all our histories and chronicles that every parish or hamlet in Scotland had almost constantly one or two of these imbecile, and (happily in most instances) harmless human beings, who, indeed, were often considered more the property of the whole parish than of their own families, and many of whom have become celebrated on account of their remarkable hut always very limited talents and sagacity. In general, they were allowed to wander over the country, not only unmolested but often most affectionately cared for; and yet, if they showed a vicious disposition, or became what was considered dangerous to the community, the law made no distinction, in this country, between them and the most depraved criminals. They were punished equally with other evil-doers. The im becile idiot and the cold-blooded murderer, were often sent to the same prison and confined in the same dungeon ! When the number and condition of the insane poor in Scotland was for the first time seriously investigated, in the beginning of the present century (and they are still alive who began that investigation), it was found that the number of persons in confinement in our county and burgh gaols, as being considered . furious or fatuous per sons, exceeded all previous calculation, and that many who had been apprehended and incarcerated during a very temporary paroxysm of insanity, and who had soon perfectly recovered their senses, had remained as inmates of the prison for years ; there being no friend to inquire after their health or care for their liberation. More than thirty individuals were found in prisons whose only crime was the misfortune of having been born with a defective brain ; many had been in confinement more than ten years, several twenty, and one or two nearly forty, under, in most instances, the presumption that they were dangerous idiots. There were several females who had been committed under that pretence, and who, forgotten or neg lected for more than twenty years, had become a prey to the bad designs of every villain whose multiplied crimes or aggra vated offences had sent them to the same prison ; some, it was found, had become the mothers of more than one or two chil dren ; and even murder, it was suspected, might have been added to the already proved and appalling catalogue of crimes which, under the then--18041 I—existing system and state of our laws, unfortunately prevailed. HOP INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK, AUG. 27.—During the last week the accounts from Mid-Kent have been very unfavourable, and caused a briskness in our markets. The duty fell to 150,000/. The fine weather has made us again dull, as it is expected it will force a great deal of burr into bcp. There is nothing doing on the duty, which is called 155,0001. to 160,0001. NIAIDSTONE. —Our accounts are of the same varied descrip tion as they have been during the whole of the present season. Some grounds are in a very fair condition, others almost as bad as they can be. Everybody seems to agree that the mould is increasing, and although in some grounds a very great im provement has taken place during the last few days, there are many others in which, we are assured, not a bin will be put. Nearly the whole plantation exhibits the singular appearance of a double crop—burr and hops on the same bine—and a good deal will be ready for picking before the remainder is scarcely in hop. Judging by the reports we have received, we should say the result must be Lr below an average crop. THE WEALD.—The hops now begin to show themselves in the favoured grounds, but there are many that are not yet out of burr; it seems at present that we here shall not grow so many as last }ear. MARDEN.—The weather on the whole during the past week has been cold and unfavourable, the hops in conse quence have made but little progress ; many plantations are very backward, and, except the weather should be very warm and favourable to their growth, they will probably produce but a short crop. At the annual hop meeting held at the Bell Inn, Castle Heddingham, on the sth instant, a quantity of hops of the coming crop were sold at 51. ss. per cwt„ and the duty laid at 160,0001. The hops in the neighbourhood at present look very promising ; should the warm weather continue a good crop may be anticipated. WORCESTER.—Since our last there has been a decided im provement in the weather, and our accounts from all quarters represent tbat the hops wear a much better appearance in this plantation. The previous storms had much washed the bine, and given a freshness to the plant, and the legs lolighted grounds are now pretty generally coming into blow, aad the burr in some of the early yards appears more healthy than could be expected. The warm nights we leave bed lately have done a great deal ; so much so that tie duty is now backed at 8,000/. or 9,0001., and by some at more than that. In our market there has been an improved demand for new hops, and the few parcels ofered for sale have been readily sold at 2s. to 3s. advance from the preceding week's prices. 1 The planters do not seem inclined to sell at the present quota tions, hoping by holding a little longer, till the fate of the growing crops is known, to realise much better Irices.— k Maidstone Journal. BALLOON ASCENT.—Two balloons ascended. from Vauxhall Gardens on Tuesday evening, one of them beim: , the Nassau balloon, and the other a smaller one, first used on the day of the Coronation of George IV.

(From the Greenock Advertiser.) The brig Hebden, of Scarborough, Captain W. B. Fowler, which arrived at this port on Saturday evening, brought hither two ladies and a gentleman, passengers, and two of the crew o' the American brig Bracanza, who were picked up at sea, and taken on board the Hebden, along with their boat, on Sunday, the 12th current, about 350 miles off the coast of Portugal, after having been at sea in a small open boat for twenty-five hours. The persons thus providentially saved, are George N. Diehl, Esq., of Philadelphia, owner of the Bra ganza, and his lady ; the lady of Captain A. F. Turley, late Master of the brig ; Mr. Moir, the second mate; and the cook of the Braganza. We have collected the following particular account of a mutiny on board of the latter vessel, accompanied by circumstances of the most horrid and revolting cruelty. Occurrences of this kind are, happily for the honour of human nature, as rare as they are awful. The American brig Braganza, of Philadelphia, which sailed from St. John's, Porto Rico, with a cargo of sugar, put into Philadelphia in distress, and having got repaired, sailed from that city on the Bth July last, with the following crew cn board; viz., Captain A. P. Turley; Mr. Vander slice, first mate; Mr. Moir, second mate, and six men before the mast, including the cook. She had also as pas.engers, Mr. and Mrs. Diehl, and Mrs. Turley above mentioned. We subjoin an intelligent and very minute account of the circumstances which occurred at sea, drawn up by Mr. Diehl, and to which little addition requires to be made. The conduct of the barbarous wretches seems to have been altogether un provoked, and quite unexpected. The brig proceeded on her voyage without any remarkable cireurastarce until the sth of August, when at 2 o'clock, A. at., an alarm was given by the first mate of a mutiny by the crew. The captain and second mate immediately rushed on deck to his asistar.ce ; the captain had a cutlass, the second mate had nothing whatever to defend himself with, On the cap t. 3 o and second mate's reaching the deck they were imme diately Rut:eked by all the crew, who, being five in number, soon overpowered them ; they threw the second mate over the side, but he fortunately caught a rope and regained the deck again, and retreated to the cabin completely disabled. In the meantime the crew succeeded in overpowering the captain and threw him overboard. During this period, which was but of short duration, the two ladies and myself were in the most anxious suspense, anticipating that it was their inten- tion to come into . the cabin and murder us all, having no means whatever of defence. Bet to our surprise, immediately on throwing the csptain overboard, they closed the cabin com panion way and sky-light by nailing- and placing canvas and heavy chains on them. The persons thus confined in the cabin were Mrs. Turley, the first and second mates, and my self and wife ; the first mate had his face dreadfully cut and his skull fractured by two strokes on the head and Vac) on the shoulder, all apparently done with a hatchet. Every atten tion was paid to him while we remained in the cabin ; the se cond mate was completely disabled in the right arm by blows inflicted with a handspike. At eight o'clock of the same morning, the crew, then in complete possession of the ves sel, made preparations to close the cabin dead lights by slinging a plank over the stern, at which we remonstrated, stating that we should smother; they replied that unless we gave up whatever they wanted they wuuid certainly do it. They then demanded the chronometer, sextant and charts, to gether with all the money and jewellery we possessed, which were passed up to them through the cabin windows by means of a bucket. They also required that we should throw over hoard all cur fire-arms, which consisted of an old musket, broke at the breech, and an old percussion fowling piece, which v.as also rendered useless from corrosion, and having neither powder, ball, or caps : we also complied 'with this re quest; upon which they became satisfied for a time. Upon asking them where they intended to go with the vessel, and what they intended to do with us? they replied that they were going to Genoa, and that we would find cut soon enough what they intended to do with us. They at the same time stated that they had no wish to injure Mrs. Diehl or myself, but de clared their determination of sacrificing both Mrs. Turley and the first mate. On Monday, the 6th, nothing material occurred. Tuesday, the 7th—Early on this morning we discovered a smoke in the cabin, which proceeded from the hold, which soon became so dense as to render it difficult to breathe. Upon our demanding the cause, they replied that they were satisfied that there was more valuable property in the cabin, and, unless we gave it up, they were determined to smoke us to death. We made use of every argument to satisfy them that we had given them ail, and finally succeeded; upon which they withdrew their fire from the hold, and the smoke soon passed away. Nothing further occurred on that day, nor on the Bth, or 9.h, or 10th, except occasional suggestions by the craw that we should leave in the jolly-boat, but stated neither time and place. They hinted several times that it was neces sary to destroy us to save themselves. On Saturday, the 11th. between eight and ten o'clock, they called for me over the taffrail, and stated that there was a ves sel in sight from the mast-head, and proposed that we should take the jolly-boat, and endeavour to gain her. To this I ob .. jected—as, in the first place, I did - not believe there was a vessel in sight, and further, I stated to them that, in the event of our not being able to reach her, I was certain we must perish. At this period I proposed that, if they wished to save any of us, they should take the long-boat, and leave us the brig, or give us the long-boat, and we would run our chance. Previous to this they would not listen to this proposition; but, after a few moments' conversation together, they reduested that :n)selt and wife should come on deck, which we con. screed to do, concluding that our situation could not well he wersc. and that matters would then be brought to close. Upon our reaching the deck no violence was used towards us; but they were all prepared with their knives and other edged tools for resistance. Immediately on gain ing the deck, we requested that Mrs. Turley and the second mate should be allowed to come up, to which they con sented. Alter a promiscuous conversation of an hour cr so, in which every possible argument was urged, on our part, to induce them not to destroy us, they consented that we should take the long boat, and run our chance of getting to land, then distant, as near as could be ascertained, about 350 miles, on the Portuguese coast. This proposition we ac cepted, and they went to werk immediately to get the long boat out, previously having fitted her cut with mast, sail, wain-, &c., for their own use. Between two and three o'clock, everything being ready, they required us to leave ; prior to which, we made use of every possible argument to induce them to allow us to take the first mate along with us (although he was in a wretched condition from his wounds), which they positively refused, stating that they would take care of bins themselves. Finding our solicitations of no avail, and fearing that further delay might prove dangerous, Mrs. Turley, Mr. Moir (second mate), the cook of the brig, and Mrs. Diehl and myself, got into the boat, and left the brig, in (what they considered themselves) latitude 42. 00. north longitude, by .D. R. 17. 06. west. The brig then kept away N. N. E., and we steered as near as possible for the Portuguese coast all that afternoon and night. At day-light on Sunday morning, the 12th, we discovered two sail in sight, one of which we judged to be the Braganza, made chase after the other, but after pursuing her until ten o'clock, gave up the chase as. fruitless. At this period we made another sail to the south ward, and coming towards us; after a short respite, we gave chase for her, and neared her fast. About three P.m., she discovered and bore up for us ; and between 3 and 4 P. M., we got alongside, and was received on board the brig Hebden, Captain William Benjamin Fowler, of Scarborough, bound from Sicily to the Clyde, by whom, and all his crew, we were treated in the most kind and bespitable manner. I would fur ther remark, that the mutineers robbed us of nearly every stitch of clothes we had, except what we bad on. The Bragan:a is a full rigged brig, about 220 tons, painted black, with a narrow streak end painted ports, and billetehead. Her white streak does not show very plainly, in consequence of being recently caulked, and the pitch not being scraped off. [low. the wretches should have given ','ne survivors even a chance for their lives seems quite unaccountable, knowing, as they well dd, that, should they be preserved, no exertions would be srared to bring them to the condign punishment they hare so richly •merited. They said that they intended to run for the English Channel, which, should they have done, there - is every probability that they will be brought to justice. The following is a description of the mutineers, as nearly as can possibly now be given, which, it is hoped, may lead to their identificat,on, should they em ct a landing en the British coast, Their surnames cannot now be ascertained—their Christian nam's, as given by them, are as follows :—William, Henry, Joaeph, Hans:, and James.
